<head><title>Asynchronous i/o Library Overview</title></head>
<body>
<p>This document defines the xi8ix asynchronous i/o library API. The xi8ix asynchronous i/o library provides
an easy to use, simple, small, high performance library to work with asynchronous data channels provided
by the Java nio library. The library is compatible with any Java 5 or higher JRE.</p>

<h2>Usage</h2>
<p>In order to use the library, include the async library jar file on your classpath, and begin by creating
an {@link org.xi8ix.async.AsyncEngine} object. The object can then be used as a factory to create new data ports and peers for
sending and receiving asynchronous data.</p>
